Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I'd think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous.

I wanted to be a cartoonist when I was young.

SAMO as an end to to mindwash religion, nowhere politics and bogus philosophy.

The more I paint the more I like everything.

I was a really lousy artist as a kid. Too abstract expressionist; or I'd draw a big ram's head, really messy. I'd never win painting contests. I remember losing to a guy who did a perfect Spiderman.

If I'm away from painting for a week, I get bored.

I wanted to be a star, not a gallery mascot.
